I can't believe my story passed 1K views. Really, thank you! Hero's best friend Josephine has been a constant presence in his life for 20 years, the most reliable person around. Now, he's faced with the realization that she grew up to be an amazing woman and he starts seeing her with different eyes. Their insane chemistry and hot encounters mess with his mind. Can they stay within the lines of friendship or will it blow up in his face? This is a retelling of the story Touch & Go | Herophine, but from Hero's perspective. The original story, from Jo's point of view, is here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/291335749-touch-go-herophine Author: @hessaandherophine Initial description - Josephine's best friend's touch made her burn hotter than she could possible imagine. How is she supposed to keep it a one-night fling when Hero's looking at her like that? Not sure if that was how the initial author envisioned Hero's thought process though. PS. My first ever attempt at writing, would love some criticism :)

Out of nowhere,Samuel's friend,Hero,asks Josephine to help him with his childish plan of being family's good boy and make them believe he is more than a manwhore.For a boy who never wasn't in relationship,the idea of that plan seemed so easy to do.But involving Josephine,a dance coach with beautiful soul and sensitive mind,only messed up things more.Not only for him,also for her too. So is this plan even gonna work out?

A Hessa Fanfiction. Different story same people 😉 Their lives as best friends. Hardin, Gets into a car accident that puts him into a coma, Tessa spends her days, weeks, months by his side, waiting for him to awake. Dose Tessa and Hardin make it through this?

What started as hate was never meant to become love. When Tessa's mother falls for Hardin's father, anger draws an instant line between them. Hardin is guarded, volatile, and carrying more darkness than he knows how to control. Tessa is the last person he should care about - and the one who slowly breaks through his defenses. As their connection deepens, truths long buried come to the surface. Tessa carries a past she never learned how to name, and when she finally dares to trust Hardin with it, everything changes. His anger shifts. His need to protect her becomes absolute. But some dangers don't stay in the past. Lies blur into trust, familiar faces hide secrets, and the love that brought them together is about to be tested in ways neither of them saw coming. Because loving each other was the easy part. Surviving what comes next won't be. *** Currently rewriting

Tessa Young is everything an eighteen-year-old girl is supposed to be-brilliant, driven, ambitious enough to dream of a university far away from the town that feels too small for her thoughts. She loves quiet, books, and the feeling of being in control of her future. But there is one thing she can't control. Hardin Scott. The boy she built sandcastles with at the beach. The boy who held her hand on her first day of school. The boy who once swore he would never hurt her. That same boy is now the reason she wakes up with fear in her chest every morning. Ever since his mother died, Hardin has been shattered-hard, distant, angry-and Tessa has become the perfect target for a storm he can't understand or contain. The words that once brought her safety now cut like blades. The eyes that once held warmth are now colder than steel. Everyone sees Hardin as the boy who smokes, drinks, fights, and fears nothing. But Tessa sees something else. A pain no one recognizes. A void that never found words. And a past that tied them together-only to rip them apart. But feelings don't listen to logic. And Tessa, against every principle she lives by, falls for the boy who hurts her every single day. She hates herself for it. She doesn't understand it. But every time Hardin shoves her into the lockers, she sees the same flash of the boy who used to catch her when she fell. And every time he insults her, something in his eyes breaks with her. When Tessa's feelings can no longer stay hidden-when her heart finally speaks louder than her fear-Hardin is forced to face a choice he's never had the courage to make: Will he become the boy who once protected her... or remain the boy who pushes her away to avoid losing himself? And the question that could destroy them both: Can love grow out of pain- or will it be the final crack that breaks them for good? ~~~~~~~ Currently rewriting

Love is what we believe love is, whatever it might be. Love teaches its hardest lesson to Josephine and Hero. Their loves for acting, their loves for creativity, their loves for families, friends and life; and ultimately their love for each other have been test time and time again. Will their versions of love win in the end? Their denial on love for each others might ring true to the fate drafted by God upon them, OR, would it be otherwise? Whatever the outcomes may be, they will eventually find the love they seek for so long; either elsewhere or in each other.

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

I never wanted any of this to happen. My only purpose was getting a degree on phycology and teaching. Those were the only things on my mind at the moment I arrived to England. I never meant to met him. Or letting him get under my skin with those blue eyes and black hair and mysterious bad boy attitude. Yeah, the things didn't go as I planned at all. I was supposed to change. I left because I couldn't let myself be this Emery anymore. I've hurt enough people already. I've changed, I was another Emery. But he screwed that up. He ruined that. The worst thing was that I saw it coming. Even at the moment I saw him, but I lied to myself telling me I got it all under control. It was the first of the lies. All those fucking beautiful lies. _______________________________ Ok. English isn't my first language, I'm Latin American; so sorry if there is a mistake. Hope you like the story.
